They just want money. Why does blizzard charge $15 a month. They have what 10 million players so that's like 150 million a month if I am correct. Then you have to pay like what $40 for an expansion pack that 10 million players buy? It's just stupid unless they are upgrading the game with that money.

And you have to be connected to the internet to even play singleplayer... gotta love DRM

Maybe in ten years time when everybody is connected all of the time (Maybe more like twenty years?) they can get away with that, but it's just bull. It's easy to make a lot of money at a low price with no DRM - it's been proven countless times. It's the price barrier that encourage people to pirate a game.

Well, its the price barrier, which is caused by pirateing, which is caused by DRM/prices. There was a reddit AMA from the Maxis dev's about SimCity, and it pretty much turned from a 'We really want to know about your game!' to 'Your DRM is bad, and you Should feel bad'... it was interesting to say the least. And reddit is the last community you want hating you.
